Nancy Twiggs
Trying to locate group photos of Jackie and her siblings, I pulled out our giant collection of old photo albums. What an emotional Walk Through Memory Lane. Photos are additive, you can’t stop looking and reminiscing. These albums are a testament that this Twiggs Family, these Siblings, even though living in scattered states, reunited with each other almost every year. And I believe that Jackie is the GLUE that kept them reuniting as often as possible. I think that Jackie would tell Al that she needed to see the Family and Al would put her wishes in motion to make all her wishes come true. Al would move Heaven and Earth for her Happiness. Year after year we enjoyed Family summer vacations at Cape Hatteras on the Outer Banks. We met up in Spruce Pine for visits and also every other year for the Young Family Reunion. We vacationed at scenic mountain locations for more Twiggs Family Reunions. Jackie and Al actually convinced Douglas (who is not a fan of flying) to agree to flying overseas with them 3 different trips, to Germany and France, to Ireland, and to Austria. Douglas was the designated driver through these countries and Al was the historian and tiur guide. Jackie and I got to be carefree tourists. We had a fabulous time on each trip and made a lifetime of fun memories. Jackie avoided a camera when she could, but she was Always Present, soaking up the companionship and filling her Heart with the Deep Love of Her Family.
I am Grateful for Jackie. I am Grateful for the many Beautiful Memories made with her. I will miss Jackie. With Love, Nancy
